| Description | The Vimeo SimpleGallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 0.2. This is due to missing authorization checks on the `vimeogallery_admin` function hooked to `admin_menu`. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to modify arbitrary plugin settings via the `action` parameter. |
